Well, racked over to secondary today. So far, very nice. I'll tell ya, the biscuit goes a long way. A little dab'll do ya! Pretty bready but that's what Fat Tire is, so it fits.

I really hope nothing happens to this batch. Its really good right now.

BTW--I must say, good call on the fuggles instead of northern brewer, Brewmaster in Training Orr. Bitter, but not harsh.

Yeah, I hear you on the biscuit. ABout 10 minutes into steeping my grains last night my wife called from the living room.

"I know I always say it smells like bread baking when you brew, but it REALLY smells like it tonight. What are you using for your grain?"

Personal observation: Fat Tire goes very well with pepperoni pizza. I'll have to try one of these, haven't done an amber in years.

I just have to finish up my stout and then I can transfer the Fat Tire over to a keg. Drinking that stout (which hasn't lived up to my expectations) is proving difficult.

None the less, I'll have Fat Tire on tap REAL soon.

bummer. what's up with the stout? off flavors, or not what you wanted?

Yeah, I was curious on the Northern Brewer hops... I like hearing others comments about likes and dislikes on certain styles...

I will have to try the recipe with Fuggles to see for myself.
